Matcha is a special kind of powdered green tea, traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony. Matcha is unique among other types of green tea in both appearance and taste. It has a vibrant, beautiful green color, a subtle aroma, and a rich umami taste.

DOES MATCHA TASTE LIKE GRASS

Premium matcha tea can have a sweet, grassy (or earthy) flavor. People often describe it with some type of vegetal taste, mixed with an umami, or savory effect on the palate. If you have a great quality, then it shouldn’t require any added sweetener. But if you’re stuck with a bitter, lower grade, then it may be wise using sweetener to bring out as much of that grassy taste as possible. Then you can invest in a truly premium quality of this unique tea. Side note: Make sure that you’re drinking 100% stone-ground matcha tea, without any added ingredients. That way you know exactly the taste and quality of the actual powder. Otherwise, you won’t have the greatest context about identifying quality, or learning to appreciate this ancient tea.

HOW DO YOU DRINK MATCHA POWDER

You can choose between the traditional accessories to prepare matcha, or you can use a modern take. Whatever you decide, a rule of thumb is to first, sift 1-2tsp of matcha into a mixing cup or bowl. Add 4oz of hot water for every 1tsp, but make sure it’s not boiling since that can burn the tea. You’ll then use a whisk or electric frother to dissolve the tea and mix until frothy. Traditionally you would sip and enjoy now, plain, but at this time you can add milk for a latte if you so choose. Matcha is fun to prepare and versatile whether at work or home. You can have different tools or use mixing bowls that work for you. As long as you’re able to enjoy the flavor and benefit from the health properties. As you prepare it more, you’ll also find your preference of ratio of tea to water, so feel free to experiment until it feels right.

HOW DO YOU MAKE MATCHA TASTE BETTER

Here’s a simple recipe to enjoy matcha as part of a delicious smoothie. Once you’ve selected a premium quality matcha powder, follow these simple steps: In your mixing container, add 1 cup of room temperature water. Open your tin of matcha and scoop 1tsp. Drop it into the water. Quarter 1 frozen banana for easy blending, and add. Add 1tsp of chia or hemp seeds (or both) to taste. For added nootropic energy, add 1-2tsp of organic MCT oil. (optional) Blend, and enjoy! This is one, simple recipe that anyone can easily follow. You’re also free to adjust to taste or add your preference of fruit and other additives. And makes for a very creamy, subtly sweet and superbly earthy recipe. What’s your favorite? Side Note: Remember, avoid cow’s milk if you’re drinking matcha for health benefits. That’s because of the protein content; the casein protein in cow

The Story behind the Matcha Set

In 1959 our co-founder Dr. Andrew Weil first traveled to Japan, where his host family made his first bowl of matcha. Dr. Weil was struck by the brilliant green color of the matcha, the intricate bamboo whisk, and the simplicity and beauty of the instruments used to prepare the tea.

The chawan (bowl), the chasen (bamboo whisk), and the chashaku (bamboo scoop) have been handcrafted in much the same way for over 1,000 years! We honor authentic roots with this traditional matcha set.

"For us, it's not just about the matcha, but also taking time to pause, awaken the senses, and bring the mind and body into harmony, health, and happiness."

Why choose us?

The Matcha.com Guarantee

Like you, our co-founder Dr. Weil is equally picky about what he's putting in his body. It took years for matcha.com to create our matcha-growing collective in Japan to develop what our customers often call "The Purest and most potent matcha on the planet!

What makes our Matcha Best

It was pleasing to see growing awareness of matcha in America, but we were dismayed by the low qualities available when visiting cafés, tea shops, and restaurants. So, on our following trips to Japan, we purchased small tins of the quality tea to bring home, along with tea bowls, scoops, and whisks. Soon we were in the habit of drinking a bowl of matcha twice a day! Turning loved ones onto it, and leading a growing audience into giving it a try.
